this is what the iaea says.sia pretends not to hear this and continues to invent newer and newer ways of using the peaceful station for military purposes. it is obvious that any mission, be it the iaea or u.n., while at the station, will record flagrant violations of norms and requirements of nuclear safety. therefore, russia is trying to avoid responsibility, but it will not succeed. russia needs the znpp as a means of waging war, but there is another aspect. russia is trying at any cost to cover the needs of the temporarily occupied crimea and other regions in electricity, because the publicized illegal electric reach is never covered these needs and will never cover them. moreover, russia needs the znpp for propaganda purposes, because the de-occupation of the plant will mean a failure of putin's campaign in the south of ukraine. now about something -- shelling, russian narratives about ukrainian shelling of the station do not stand up to scrutiny. nobody who is at least conscious can imagine that ukraine wou

the director general of the iaea renewed his request to send a iaea mission to carry out safety, security and safeguard activities at the site. preparations for the mission proceeding in the iaea is a active consultation with all parties, regarding to send such a mission as soon as possible. we welcome ukraine and russia statements. it would be iaea first since the start of the war. mr. president, common sense must prevail to avoid any actions that might endanger the integrity, safety or security of the plant. as the secretary-general stressed in his briefing at the council yesterday, the commitment to dialogue and results must be applied to the critical situation at the plant. if such incidents continue to escalate, we could face a disaster. the united nations continue to fully support the critical work of the economic agency and its efforts to ensure a safe operation of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and other facilities in ukraine. like close contact with the iaea, the u.n. has assessed we have the logistics and security capacity to support, provided russia and ukraine agree. to

i think they should allow iaea - they should allow iaea inspectors in right away.ease launching any operations from the site. and issue a statement indicating that they intend to refrain from using nuclear power plants as war zones or shielding themselves using nuclear plants going forward. themselves using nuclear plants going forward-— going forward. let's go to north america _ going forward. let's go to north america now. - ten miners remain trapped in a coalmine that collapsed and flooded on wednesday in mexico. hundreds of rescuers are now involved in the efforts, including several divers. the mine is in the town of sabinas in northern mexico, and in a region that is no stranger to incidents of this kind. the bbc�*s azadeh moshiri has this report. mexico's president says rescue ten workers trapped in a coal mine have reached a crucial point. the miners have been deep underground since wednesday after their excavation caused the tunnel wall to cave in and triggered floods in three wells. rescuers are working on pumping out the water that has filled the mine to

aussie of the iaea -- mr. of the iaea conceded that the body is not a country, that has helped them get access, but they can only report back on their findings. they don't have capability to enforce a cease-fire. and it is very hard to mitigate for heavy shelling, which we have seen sincehe start of this month. this is where it gets distorted, because ukraine and russia have long blamed each other for shelling the area. it makes less sense for ukraine to shell its own nuclear plant, given the nearest troops are 10 miles away. because of where the site is situated, the concern from kyiv is that this is russia building false narrative ahead of its sham referendums in the area. this is straight out of the russian playbook and it feeds into a very concerning part of the frontline. maryam: let's go live to new york, back to the human security council meeting to discuss what james is talking about. >> -- using 150 millimeter shells for m 77 howitzers, which are american-made. and two guided munitions were launched.

kneecap the iaea last week. my own feeling is that the eu would not have done this without a green light from the united states. the proposal was put forward, we have not heard any sign from washington that there is discomfort with this. what do you think is happening here? we have had the step taken by the eu. we have had attacks on a number -- plots against a number of americans including formal officials in the trump administration by the iranian regime. just as we are going to reiterate right now, i saw the news that our special operations force in syria was attacked by iran affiliated officials in iraq reportedly. no sign that the united states is going to move away from these concessions to demand in in nuclear arena. how do you think the administration is finding all of this? what do you think the consequences of it? only five minutes. rob: thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today. let me start first with how the region perceives u.s. approach appeared at the end of the day, that is equally i

uh, likhachev with the head of the iaea grosse. chance that this visit will take place, well, has become much greater. well, in general, it must be said that these are the collective efforts of russia to endlessly remind its so-called western partners of the need for the need to discuss the situation at the zaporozhye npp , the need to guarantee the safety of this plant, they are limited to these traditional statements of concern, apparently. somehow they do their job anyway. this information today's ministry of defense reports that on august 25, at the initiative of the french side, the first telephone conversation took place between the minister of defense, general of the army shoigu, and the minister of defense of the french republic, a doctor, and discussed the situation around the zaporizhzhya npp. capable of disrupting the safe operation of stations. in general, there is a feeling that this information blockade is still huge, however, efforts can be interrupted and perhaps the iaea mission will indeed take place. here bloombe

however, despite the provocations of the shelling, the iaea mission on the way to the station left kieving as the delegation is expected to stay at the nuclear power plant for several days to check the operation and safety of the facility more dmitriy kochetkov at the head of the motorcade, who left kiev today, off-road vehicles with mission symbols, it is this organization that is responsible for logistics and safety as part of the iaea delegation, representatives of serbia , italy and france, china and other countries . they will assess the damage from shelling by the armed forces, check the state of the nuclear power plant and the background radiation. it was also reported that the specialists will bring with them important spare parts for the station. argentine diplomat ceo rich rafael cargo. i will arrive at the zaporozhye nuclear power plant to fulfill it. as you know, we have a very important task there. assess the real situation to help, as far as it is possible to stabilize the situation , security must be ensured, and in the results we will report after the mission, which will

own political and geopolitical goals, they are ready to teach a second chernobyl, the head of the iaea , the president of france, everyone is concerned about the shelling of the zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant. but then why is no one in a hurry to stop the kiev militants? the trenches and the positions we're taking. yes, this is really a serious fortification, meanwhile new steps towards the liberation of one of the largest cities. dpr avdiivka more about the situation on the front line, not only do the germans need to save water and light you still now and a new tax to cover the losses of gas importers, the boomerang principle for people. let's start with the news from the russian national defense control center tonight, the agency published a list of new positions for the heights of civilian objects, the dpr slavyansky ukrainian militants settled in the lokomotiv sports complex on the territory of military equipment in a charming stronghold and ammunition depots of the museum of folk life, but in ukrainian artillery positions, in the private sector, residents hold houses as a human

like pieces of a puzzle and so the iaea has been careful and they write in legalistic language about what they have and what they don't see. you get these sentences like what we see is consistent with the l a terry nuclear program but it does not come out and say. you always felt like you had these pieces of a puzzle. when you get the nuclear archive member the first time i looked at the material and i was like this is a solution to the puzzle. you're looking at the whole puzzle completely. you're looking at the designs and plans for an iranian nuclear weapon. to andrea's point, the difference between what the iaea can do now and what they could do in 2015 is different. in 2015 they did not have the archives. second, the uranium they discovered and the investigations are open about our particles the iaea itself has discovered. i think the threat to the independence and the professional side of the iaea is very -- would you agree with that? >> absolutely. i know you have been working this issue for years. totally agree. it is a very negative prospect that with this moment you shove th

once they arrive, the iaea say _ what is inside.ive, the iaea say they _ what is inside. once they arrive, the iaea say they want - what is inside. once they arrive, the iaea say they want to - what is inside. once they arrive, the iaea say they want to speak| what is inside. once they arrive, i the iaea say they want to speak to staff, check the physical integrity of the site with the six nuclear reactors. there is a lot they want to do, but crucially, moscow has hinted its own approval of the very idea of inspectors staying there permanently, something the iaea would have a stabilising effect on an area that has seen almost daily shelling since the start of this month, with both sides blaming each other. meanwhile, further along in the south, the ukrainian counter offensive seems to be continuing around the city of kerstin, the first major city to fall in this invasion. the claim from kyiv, the russians are suffering heavy losses, claims which are difficult to verify at the age, but they are racing against time. the gains are mini

and the iaea i questions. thank you very much for speaking to us. and the iaea team | questions.winter. here's president zelensky — who accuses russia of using energy as a weapon. translation: russia uses economic terror, pressured with price rises and poverty to weaken europe just when it needs its full strength to defend against the terror of the war russia has been conducting. the european union is seeing soaring energy prices — in part as it reduces its reliance on russian gas and concerns that russia is deliberately tightening the taps. of all eu countries, germany relies the most on russian energy. before the war in ukraine, more than 50% of germany's gas came from russia. this has now dropped to 35%. in germany electricity prices are soaring. at the start of the war, electricity in germany was trading at 156 euros per megawatt hour. this morning, it went past 1000 euros for the first time. it has since stabilised after germany said it was ahead of its target for storing gas for the winter. the eu now says an "emergency intervention" is needed to reign in energy prices. her

grossi: i think if we have the correct and necessary access, the iaea, the inspectors of the iaea, willn a position to detect in a timely manner any diation of nuclear material in iran or elsewhere. nick: rafael mariano grossi, the executive director of the iaea, thank you very much. dir. grossi: it was my pleasure. thank you very much. ♪ amna: voters are taking their grievances over public schools to the ballot box this midterm cycle, as school board elections have become a proxy war for larger political culture wars on issues of race, gender and parental rights. florida and several other states have implemented laws that critics say effectively ban certain books in schools and libraries. to talk about this growing fight in education, i'm joined by kelly jensen, an editor at the literary site, book riot. she's a former librarian and has been monitoring book censorship nationwide. welcome and thank you for joining us. broadly speaking, when you look at book challenges and removals from schools and school libraries, what are you seeing, how would you characterize what is going on right n

i asked if she agreed with the iaea's warning.. it's definitely concerning. on throughout the conflict and it reallyjust highlights how unsettling these incidents are and how little the solution we have in place for managing these kinds of concerns at this time. there are reports of several strikes. pressure blames ukraine, ukraine blames russia. how vulnerable is the site at the moment? it's hard to tell in the fog of war what the vulnerabilities are. we know that russians are in control of the plant for a number of months right now, but that ukrainian engineers have been operating the plant, maintaining it on an ongoing basis. so if russia is launching strikes from the plant, using the plant as a shield, it is designed to deter the ukrainians from firing back, essentially. this nuclear disaster that the iaea has warned of, where does that risk come from? is it powerfacilities going down, meaning radioactive materials aren't stored properly, is it the strike that directly hits the site, and some kind of explosion? yeah, so all of these things can cause a pro

increased by 70%, the city administration reported, linking this to an attempt by kiev to disrupt the iaeaission, the staff of the international nuclear energy agency, headed by rafael grosse , are extremely determined in their appearance. let's understand this in a general photo before leaving for ukraine. this day has come, the mission of support and assistance is already on the way earlier grosse. reported that the mission formed will arrive this week, the wall street journal, specified the dates of work will begin on wednesday, august 31 will end, on september 3, the iaea mission was welcomed by the g7, urging them to conduct a visit in such a way as to respect ukrainian sovereignty in the same way, although not in the first place. concerned french president macron. to me, first of all, in this war, one cannot jeopardize nuclear safety, so this mission is important, he must protect the security station of his region. secondly, ukraine's sovereignty over this nuclear power plant is not must be disputed. you know that this territory will be implemented. the areas that are under the contr

we have got the iaea saying they will get a - the iaea saying they will get a chance to visit the plant will go ahead? that it will be successful? i think that this visit will go ahead? that it will be successful?- that it will be successful? i think it's important — that it will be successful? i think it's important that _ that it will be successful? i think it's important that they - that it will be successful? i think it's important that they have - that it will be successful? i thinkl it's important that they have been playing an incredibly important role in ukraine since the beginning of the war. they have been keeping the world's attention on the ongoing nuclear crisis, notjust in zaporizhzhia but i do nuclear facilities throughout the country. they've been functioning as the arbiter of truth putting out statements on a regular basis about safety and security at the site. that's where many in the public have been getting their information of what has been going on there. also providing assistance, sending a team to chernobyl to inspect safety and security i hope that there is a mi

the iaea team is due to assess any damage from shelling. functionality of safety and security systems. reporter: people here at ukraine's power company are waiting anxiously for the visit of the iaea. they are not only waiting to get news of what is happening inside the plant but they are also hoping they can convince russia to withdraw from the area. russia says it is ukraine shelling the area in an attempt to take back control of the plant. the head of ukraine's nuclear companies says this is not the case. >> they broke all the rules that exist in nuclear safety and radiation safety. broke everything. if a normal expert goes in and sees the evidence, the result should be at away from here. reporter: there is also concerned about the safety of ukrainian technicians working inside the plant. >> there are about 200 people right now captured by the russians. they are treated badly in the facility. they were captured before in the town and they created prisons. we do not know what happened to some people even. we do not know anything about the

what role does the iaea play in that?a safeguard function which is to ensure nuclear material is not diverted for military purposes but there is no evidence that any nuclear material on the zaporizhzhia would be diverted by the ukrainian government. the russians, they've got so many nuclear weapons and nuclear material in their own country, they don't need to divert from zaporizhzhia. so it is not really clear what is going on with regds to the iaea's ambitions to go there. in part, it is driven by mr. grossi's personal ambition. he seems to want to be seen as the savior of everything. the situation is a lot more serious than it individual ego of any one particular individual. nermeen: we will turn on a second-tier report, the greenpeace report, the investigation into the chernobyl plant, which russian forces occupied during their invasion for over a month in the early days, but could you talk about what your concer are with respect to zaporizhzhia, people sank you could actually come if the plant is damaged, the situatio

we regularly send the iaea secretariat newsletters detailing the situation and these incidents. mr. chairman , what is happening these days is the culmination of the criminal actions of the kiev regime against nuclear infrastructure and personnel serving these facilities, which for months remained without any international reaction. in the period from april to july, kiev committed a number of provocations against the zaes, using shock power supplies, including those made in poland. some of them managed to shoot down a part stuffed with explosives drones. the kamikaze detonated near critical infrastructure only by sheer luck. this did not lead to disruption of the plant's normal operation. earlier in february, ukrainians captured four russian specialists who were accompanying the delivery of nuclear fuel to rovno. npp they were subjected to intimidation and pressure in line with the classical methods of the arsenal of terrorist groups. march 9 ukrainian saboteurs blew up a power line that tortured the cooling system of a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel at the chernobyl nuclea

in addition, putin confirmed moscow's readiness to assist iaea specialists during a trip to zaporozhye recalled the invitation of experts, he and the red cross to visit the detention center in yelenivka also the leaders touched upon the implementation of the istanbul agreements on the export of grain contacts will maintain. but donetsk again, under fire, ukrainian militants are hitting peaceful neighborhoods in a week, they fired a hundred mines and a shell killed 29 residents, almost 60 were wounded , the allied forces are pushing out the neo-nazis with their position , the battles are for eloquence and thin control. behind these settlements will open the way to the release of avdiivka with an advanced report. alexandra bibirevatekhnika of the allied forces hits the enemy. the tank group of the ninth regiment of the first army corps is working on ukrainian positions in the avdiivka direction. while the enemy infantry is hiding from the shelling of shelters, our infantry fighting vehicles are quickly approaching enemy positions camouflaged in the forest belt, which immediately protects

uh, the iaea itself clearly shows everything as it is. yes, but why why civilians?rs must be endangered, and about the west does not hear and does not see this, but the specialists of the mmt. i think too much will not be silent. if, god forbid, these arrivals will be now, all the more so literally. uh, an hour ago. uh, there were shellings of, uh, energodar and multiple launch rocket systems, that is. uh, the nazi devils continue to rage and increase degrees. that's exactly the danger and threaten catastrophes of man-made origin, taking into account how much they drink and where vladimir vladimirovich arrives, the last question. what is the current situation at the nuclear power plant? it is clear that the whole world. now, of course, everyone is watching this. interestingly, at what level is the level now, or rather, in what state is the radiation level now ? does the system function in order? the level of radiation is normal, i just yesterday specially laid out the shooting in the evening, where i showed everything with a trigger counter. how many units, that is,

the composition of the iaea delegation surprised you.. there will be 13 members of the devil's dozen. in the truest sense of the word, that also symbolically there will be no representatives of the usa and great britain. but there will be, uh, the poles or the sheep of the most and north macedonia there are the greatest experts in the field of nuclear energy from albania together. and the composition surprised you that no, of course. you know, well, you can't laugh. here in this situation, how greg laugh with sick people. well, in this case, it really sends people who are in nuclear power. well, they don’t understand anything, not a single station was built by these countries in these countries, all they could build was a sprat grow our own there, but nevertheless, we will still meet them, and we understand that megatech, unfortunately, is the same as the council of europe, and, unfortunately, it is all about european institutions, which are completely. controlled by the americans and we understand that there will be no complete objectiv

if he says i'll let iaea go in. in exchange, i want whatever it is vladimir putin is thinking that day. he will try to mess with this. to create a, you owe me if i cooperate with you. the russians are very good at doing that. in the u.n., they do it in spades. it all to be the u.n. involved in pushing this forward with russia as well, i think. >> and the united nations secretary general antonio guterres was in odesa today. he insisted the electricity generated at zaporizhzhia belongs to ukraine. indeed, ukraine belongs to ukraine. this followed reports that russia is planning to divert electricity, if not cutting it off from ukraine, perhaps diverting it to russian go on pied territory. if russia did that, what would that mean for ukraine? winter is coming up. >> this is something they've been doing incrementally. they've been going into territory that they've taken from ukraine and are trying to control, and doing things like, issuing russian passports to the local ukraines. they've been doing things like taking ru

the iaea is moving into the zaporizhzhia power plant.very important task they are to perform to assess the real situation there, to help stabilise the situation as much as we can, and i am really very conscious of the relevance of at this moment, but we are ready, the iaea is ready. we will bring you more on that study when we have it. to the flooding in pakistan now — and the united nations has launched an emergency appeal, to help victims of what the un secretary general called a "monsoon on steroids". pakistan's government says the floods are the worst in the nation's history. more than 1,000 people are known to have been killed — as roads, homes and bridges are washed away. more than 33 million pakistanis have been affected by the flooding — that's one in every seven people. pumza fihlani reports from the city of sukkur. everywhere you look, there is still water. down below, a food crisis is brewing in pakistan. the truck queues are so long they disappear into the horizon. but they've not broken down — it's the country's roads that a

, well, the iaea is a very cool structure it is very similar to ennesty international which yes b whichploys representatives of russia, the deputy head of megate, on a permanent basis, this is a representative of rosatom, who is replaced by another, and russia rosatom finances a huge amount and almost any projects of wealth that the iaea offers, and that's why when we were on the air with you, the representative of energy atom of ukraine, he says what is the meaning of the structure that ignores all these events, and in addition, in all these directives of the iaea memoranda signed on nuclear security, there is not a single point on how to respond to military conduct of war on the territory nuclear power plants. well, nothing is said about it, and that is why, of course, they condemn it, but they look at their own introductions and do not find answers to even simple questions, so they cannot do anything. if you look at the financing of the international capacity, there are also structural divisions in russia and funding goes to this rights protection organization with the russian federa

anton, in my opinion, you correctly drew attention to this mission of the iaea, in my opinion.h, what she rides. e, despite all the obstacles of provocation. eh, that means ukraine and the west there and so on, still going to zaporozhye. nuclear power plants are very important. we russia fought for this trip of experts. un for a long time you know this well, because e offensive. uh, vasily nebenzia was shown on television and not only this performance. we understand the importance of a professional and objective analysis of what is really going on there, we are tired of hearing. uh, americano ukrainian some kind of hmm provocative rumors that are being launched in the international media we want to know from an expert communities. what is the real situation? yes, the nuclear power plant hope, uh, that we can count on the fact that it will be objectively we professionally know quite such a curious layout. e hmm national er, of this whole group, but we believe in something once again, i want to repeat the third time in objectivity. the entire international community needs it now.

we have asked that the russians leave this plant and allow for the iaea to go in and do investigationsensure that the plant is safe. at this moment, they have not agreed, although they have asked for it. we will be holding a meeting in the security council, a meeting the russians called, where we will insist that they allow for the iaea to have access to the client, and that they stop usin this plant as a military base. laura: ukraine and russia are blaming each other for the shelling. does the united ates have any intelligence about is actually behind it. amb. thomas-greenfield: we do not, but that is why we want the iaea to get in there to see what is happening on the ground and to ensure that the plant is safe. if there is conflict going on around the camp, it needs to stop. laura: united nations secretary general is calling for a demilitarized zone around this military plant. does the united states support this idea? amb. thomas-greenfield: we support any efforts that will low for this plant to be safely demilitized. leaving the russians -- the russians leaving the plant is somethi

in my opinion, but at least in london in washington, the iaea mission aims to assess the scale of thethe nature of the physical damage, and to check the operability of the main systems. experts watching the two operating reactors will visit the control room, talk to the staff and. in addition, the team threatens representatives of ten countries plan to make sure that nuclear materials are used exclusively for peaceful purposes. in kiev, they say that they are interested in the arrival of un experts, the actions of the whole show attempts to disrupt the mission. we hope that the plans of the ukrainian strategists in quotation marks will once again interfere with the mission, bogatyr will not come true, and the mission will take place differently. the development of events can be viewed only as an admission by the kiev regime of its guilt for what is happening, but the head. we are ready to be optimistic. he has compiled a quote from the best and most capable experts in the field nuclear safety, and guarantee the physical security of the international delegation. both in moscow and in k

the head of the iaea, of course, understands that from the radio.nly a lucky chance saves the nuclear power plant i am very concerned about the situation at the zaporozhye nuclear power plant, i repeat that any military actions that threaten nuclear safety must be stopped immediately. we can agree that any nuclear catastrophe is unacceptable and its prevention must be our goal in order to achieve it. i ask both sides to cooperate with the iaea and allow the mission to go to the ap as soon as possible the russian side to receive inspectors, the iaea is ready and was ready earlier in early june vasily nebenzya reminded rafael grossel, however, then the trip was canceled at the last moment by the security department of the secretary of this un and in kiev they immediately took advantage of this for new provocations, there are no guarantees that the trip will take place. we cannot give. it's hard for us to judge what is being brewed in the head of the ukrainian leadership today, which has been attacking the ap for several days in a row, despite the fact

thomas-greenfield: we do not, but that is why we want the iaea to get in therto see what is happeningthe ground and to ensure that the plant is safe. if there is conflict going on around the camp, it needs to stop. laura: united nations secretary general is calling for a demilitarized zone around this military plant. does the united states support this idea? amb. thomas-greenfield: we support any efforts that will low for this plant to be safely demilitized. leaving the russians -- the russians leaving the plant is something we support. laura: in africa, the war in ukraine is driving up the cost of food. you were in ghana, guinea. what were leaders telling you? are people going hungry because of the war? amb. thomas-greenfield: they are suffering because of the war. pric are extraordinarily high for energy, as well as for fertilizer. when i was in ghana, i met with farmers who told me that they have had to cut their production because of the shortage of fertilizer. one farmer who would ordinarily plant 10 acres told me he was only planting four because there was not enough fertilizer.

own political and geopolitical goals, they are ready to teach a second chernobyl, the head of the iaea , the president of france ; and the positions we're taking. yes, this is really a fortification for the liberation of one of the largest cities in the dpr , avdiivka to cover the losses of gas importers, the boomerang principle in action. let's start with news from the russian national defense control center the night before, the department published a list of new apu positions in civilian facilities. dpr slavyansky ukrainian militants settled in the lokomotiv sports complex on the territory of military equipment in a charming strongholds and a supply depot, a museum of folk life in novoukrainka, artillery positions, in the private sector , residents hold houses as a human shield, and in artyomovsk militants of the national battalions captured the hostel agricultural school. a separate ministry of defense notes that due to the fault of the kiev regime, the country has been disrupted, the educational process in the central and eastern regions, almost all schools and universities are us

ukrainian personnel must fulfill their duties without pressure from the russian armed forces, the iaean would have clarified a lot here. moscow, back in early june, agreed on a visit by representatives of the agency to inspect the zaporozhye nuclear power plant, but at the last moment. the un secretariat imposed a veto on the arrival of experts just these days, as the russian permanent representative noted, the upu began intensive shelling of the moscow station, according to vasily nebenzya, it guarantees maximum assistance to the commission, but the ukrainian side continues to shell the station, to which kiev's allies turn a blind eye, as to these reports organization amnesty international, which, as emphasized not benzia about russian, can by no means be named in the investigation of western human rights activists , it is claimed that they are equipping gun emplacements in residential areas, hiding behind the civilian population as we call on the state that supports the kiev regime to besiege its wards, to force them to immediately and permanently stop attacks on ap and residents of
